OK that has nothing to do with running! This is one of my most hated weekends of the year. Most of the bikers are harmless but few are responsible. I can't believe (with the extra insurance rider) it is legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. Every year it seems that several bikers are killed riding their bikes around Austin on this particular weekend. From the bikers we see in jail with casts on arms and legs and miles of road rash there is plenty of drinking and driving going on (all with no helmet). It's kinda like driving without a seatbelt. On the flipside, the Expo Center is an amazing sight. Campers as far as the eye can see. The rally also brings in millions to the Austin/Travis County economy so I guess that is good.
I was tired this AM and my feet are sore. No 3 mile run. I did get out and ride my horse...so easy in comparison...he does 99% of the work. I do have special empathy for him and the fact that he probably gets sore too, so he gets a massage once a month and the occasional chiropractic adjustment and acupuncture treatment. They make a drastic difference to his attitude and performance. Most people that I see riding horses act like they are machines and they can go and go and go with zero maintenance. So, if you haven't had a massage lately, go get one.
Feeling better as the day progressed so plan on trying for a short run after work tomorrow.
Stay cool and watch out for bikers!
